As we previously reported, the producer and studio executive took her own life on Wednesday amid her connection to Harvey Weinstein's ongoing sexual misconduct scandal. Per Messick's loved ones, Jill was "broken" to see her name in the headlines in association with former client Rose McGowan's rape accusation against the Hollywood heavyweight.

Although Jill died during controversial times, there are many in Tinseltown who are mourning her untimely passing. Hayek proved this to be true with a touching tribute on Instagram on Friday. In case you were unaware, Jill worked closely with Salma on Miramax's Frida as she was the executive producer.

"Jill Messick was a mother of two children, a loving wife and partner, a dear friend to many and a smart entertainment executive. She was also a survivor, privately battling depression which had been her nemesis for years. Today she did not survive. Jill took her own life."

Shooting up from her seat, the heckler said:

"I have a suggestion. Talk about what you said on RuPaul. Trans women are dying and you said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women. We get raped more often. We go through domestic violence more often. There was a trans woman killed here a few blocks [away]. I have been followed home –."

The woman was then interrupted by McGowan, who tried to explain that the point she was making was that all women — trans or cis-gender — are in the same boat. She retorted:
